Circuit Breaker Panels: The Guardians of Electrical Safety
Embedded ETX’s panels are responsible for managing and distributing electrical power throughout our homes, offices, and industrial facilities. In this article, we’ll explore the world of circuit breaker panels, including their components and the role of various types like GFCI circuit breakers, 50-amp circuit breakers, smart circuit breakers, and miniature circuit breakers.
A circuit breaker panel is the central hub of an electrical system. It receives electrical power from the utility grid or an alternate source, such as a generator or solar panels, and distributes it to various circuits within a building or facility.
What do our Circuit Breakers have?
- Circuit breakers are the core components of a breaker panel. Our circuit breakers come in various types to address specific safety and functionality requirements:
- Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) circuit breakers can rapidly disconnect the power when they detect an imbalance in current, preventing potentially dangerous electrical accidents.
- These circuit breakers are rated for higher current loads and are commonly used for heavy-duty appliances or circuits, such as electric stoves, dryers, or larger HVAC systems.
- A smart circuit can be remotely controlled and monitored through smartphone apps or home automation systems, allowing users to optimize energy usage and respond to issues promptly.
- Miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) are compact, fast-acting circuit breakers designed for residential and commercial use.
